The Show Less Like This option on BlueSky doesn’t work at all. All the bad art I try to prevent keeps showing up. Sigh.

Netflix has Clint Bentley’s TRAIN DREAMS, a gorgeous new film starring an extraordinary Joel Edgerton, based on a novella by the late Denis Johnson. It’s sort of a tone poem to early America, to trees and trains and to grief. Watch it at night with the lights low and your phone put away.

Barbra Streisand’s YENTL Released 42 years ago today. I had a line party for 20 at the Cinerama Dome. I was dressed as a yeshiva boy (of course) and had a life-size record store standup of the “Superman” cover nearby. Barbra show tunes on the ghetto blaster. A grand night, a great film.

Kelly Reichardt’s marvelous 1970s era art heist film, THE MASTERMIND, starring Josh O’ Connor, is leaving theaters but check your local listings. You may only spot one showing, in the middle of your work day. Leave work early. That’s always good for the soul. So is this movie.

The Barbra Streisand autobiography came out two years ago today. It’s crazy long but if you go between the print book and her Audible version, it’s a blast. She ad libs a bit on the Audible—a “Damn” at the end of the Anthony Newley story—and as with the singing voice, each heard breath becomes art.

Prime has director David Jacobson’s DAHMER (2002), which for me is one of the great films and much neglected. A fearless Jeremy Renner is extraordinary and as Dahmer’s father, the great Bruce Davidson heartbreaking. Here’s my original review. www.laweekly.com/hungry-heart/
